Chapter 223: Memories, Hidden Knife

An internal emergency made Zhenxiu inadvertently learn of the Lu family's sinister plan.

After the eldest young master Lu Ping and the housekeeper left, this maid, who didn't talk much on weekdays and wasn't very clever, was surprisingly calm down - knowing that she ran back to the backyard like this and told everyone that it would be useless, she decided to go to the kitchen first to get some pot ashes to protect herself.

In fact, it is not only the conversation between the housekeeper and the eldest young master, Zhenxiu was not bought by the Lu family as a maid when she was a child, but she also heard her grandmother tell some stories of demons and evil spirits that are widely spread among the people.

Now that the matter is in front of her, Zhenxiu suddenly remembered that she had heard a story when she was a child, and it did say that living people can temporarily cover up the so-called "living people" by smearing the ashes at the bottom of the pot and other means.

So, Zhenxiu quietly ran to the kitchen and smeared the ashes on her face with the bottom of the pot.

It was at this moment that she remembered that in the story told by her grandmother, the farmer who used this method to deceive the ghost was finally discovered by the ghost because he thought the ghost was gone.

Thinking of this joint, Zhenxiu carefully smeared the ashes at the bottom of the pot and planned to leave this place of right and wrong through the small door of the Lu Mansion immediately.

But before she left, the Lu family's evil art had already suffered a backlash because of the lack of Zhenxiu in the sacrifice.

Jin-so doesn't remember what happened.

She only suddenly heard a series of terrible screams from the front and back yards, and then she passed out with a burst of blood-red light.

When I woke up again, I found that Lu Mansion had become a Jedi who was allowed to enter but not to leave!

Whether she walks through the door or tries to climb over the wall, she will return to the house no matter what.

That's it.

Jin-su was completely trapped in the Lu Mansion.

After holding back her fear and groping for a period of time, Zhenxiu, who smeared the ashes on the bottom of the pot every day, slowly learned more things.

A few days after the special incident happened, after a few farmers who usually delivered vegetables to the Lu Mansion entered the Lu Mansion, Zhenxiu gradually figured out some of the rules of this ghost.

First of all.

All the people in the Lu Mansion died, and all the people except for the young master Lu turned into paper figures.

But these paper figures walk, sit, lie down, talk and behave like ordinary people on weekdays - during this period of time, Zhenxiu has seen Zhao Sange and Zhao Laohan who are the gatekeepers more than once lead the farmers who deliver vegetables to the Lu Mansion and the fishermen who regularly deliver fresh river food into the Lu Mansion.

As long as these people don't find out the identity of the paper figure, they can be safe.

But that's not to say you'll be fine.

Jin-su saw with her own eyes the fisherman, who happened to be on the day of checkout, took the money and went out to find that the money had become paper money and found it......

That terrifying and eerie image she remembered for the rest of her life.

And the situation of the eldest young master is a different matter.

At first, Zhenxiu didn't realize that this sinister young master was not a paper man, but just served the other party as usual in order not to arouse suspicion.

However, two days later, when the eldest young master's body began to decay, Zhenxiu realized this.

After not daring to sleep for several days in a row, for fear that she would lose her life by saying sleep words when she fell asleep, Jin-su began to figure out some patterns......

First of all.

Escaping from the Mansion was something that didn't even need to be thought about - every time Jin-su tried to leave with the farmers who had come to deliver vegetables to the Mansion, the janitor or the other paper figures present would suddenly look strange and ask her if she was leaving.

Zhenxiu's expression was wooden at the time, but her brain was not spinning fast.

She realizes that these paper figures can't leave the house at all, so if she shows the behavior of being able to leave the house...... That's when she shows her stuffing!

Coupled with the energy of several previous failed attempts to get through the side door and over the wall, Zhenxiu didn't dare to bet on whether she would be dragged back to the Lu Mansion like a "ghost hitting the wall" after rushing out of the door with the farmer.

Secondly.

Although Lu Mansion has now become a strange and very dangerous place, it is not completely without a slightly safer place.

After a few days of observation, Zhenxiu found that although the paper people walked, sat and lay on weekdays, they talked and behaved like living people.

But they don't sleep, they don't eat, they don't go out!

After discovering this.

Zhenxiu broke out in a cold sweat at that time - fortunately, she was always panicked in those days, and she went to the kitchen several times to look for food and drink, but the paper figures did not see it.

The good thing about this discovery is that Jin-su found that paper people don't go into the toilet.

So by this "law".

Zhenxiu chose to take time to sleep in the toilet every day, and then quietly repainted the bottom ash of the pot in the toilet in the evening, and returned to the eldest young master to sit all night......

Over time......

Jin-so gradually knows more and more.

She took advantage of the time to pretend to clean up and peeked at the eldest young master's notes.

From those fragmentary loose chapters, I gradually learned some secrets of the Lu family.

……

"Na~~Na~~ Girl! Do you have anything to eat here? Zhenxiu, who was caught in her memory, suddenly appeared in front of her eyes with a small hand that quickly slapped the table.

"Ah......h

The tone was gentle: "In the Fang market, the roast chicken of the Chen family at Daokou, as well as the Yangchun noodles of the old man Zhang, and the pastries made by the lady of the Li family are all good and famous." ”

Luo Shen stood up suddenly: "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's go! ”

……

Lei Catcher returned to his home.

As a widower who lost his wife at an early age, Lei Zhutou did not marry a wife at this time, and he was the only one in the family.

After walking briskly through the courtyard with a few thick wooden stakes riddled with knives, Lei Catcher entered the house.

The home is a typical structure of things inside and out.

A small hall facing the courtyard in the middle, the kitchen on the west side, and the bedroom on the east side, there is no door between each room, but a common method of blocking with a curtain in ordinary people's homes.

Lei Zhutou entered the bedroom, stepped up and hooked the beam with one hand.

With his other hand, he backhanded the beam and took a long hardwood box in his hand.

Let go.

The whole person landed gently, and it is worth noting that the movement of this tall, muscular thunder catcher when he landed was small and small.

There was only a slight sound.

Phewβ€”β€”!

After blowing off the thick layer of dust on the box, the Thunderbolt opened the hardwood box, revealing its contents.

A long knife.

Different from the heavy Pu knife on the waist of Lei Zhutou, this is a medium-sized two-handed knife with an extraordinarily narrow shape and a slight arc on the blade.

If I have to describe it, this knife is more like a product of the earth between the Han Dynasty ring head sword and its derived katana.

The head of the thunder catcher held the blade without a blade, and pulled out the knife with the handle wrapped around the hemp rope.

Even though the light in the bedroom was not good, when the blade of the knife was pulled out by the lightning trap, the frost and snow-like layers of the blade still seemed to reflect some kind of palpitating light.

Flick your fingers.
